The following are recommended for notifying the school following an absence from school.
School Bytes Parent Portal Notification
You can submit an absence through the School Bytes Parent Portal App or Parents/caregivers will receive a daily notification of their child's absence via email notification. You can immediately respond to the school via clicking on the parent portal link sent in the email with an explanation of your child's absence.
In accordance with the Education Act 1990, all absences must be explained to the school within 7 days of the absence. Should this explanation not be received within the 7 day period, a letter from the school detailing the absent dates will be forwarded to parents/caregivers, requesting an explanation. The school does send a reminder letter two days after an absence to encourage an explanation to be returned to the school prior to the 7 days.
